Because that's not what it's called. It's just like people would get annoyed if I replaced the word "Australian" with "****tard" and proceeded to call them all that instead. Then started calling people from New Zealand "Australian" instead.

Not really, it's always been soccer here, can perfectly understand calling it Football in England, but since i was a little tacker everything I've known about it has been soccer...the National Soccer League, The Socceroos...Don't get why some ****tards (aussies) as you put it get ****ty when people who have called it soccer there whole life continue to do so based on reaching the world cup in 06.
